adipate
This term is used exclusively within the domain of organic chemistry to describe specific chemical compounds derived from adipic acid. It is a technical term and does not appear in general conversation or non-scientific literature.
In a laboratory or industrial context, the term typically refers to esters used as plasticizers to increase the flexibility of polymers. Because it describes a class of chemical substances, it is treated as a countable noun when referring to different types of adipates (e.g., diethyl adipate versus dibutyl adipate).
Meanings
A salt or ester of adipic acid.
The production of diethyl adipate is used in the manufacture of plasticizers.
